When was the last time you settled back and listened to, rather than read, a good story?

Judah Leblang is a writer, teacher, and storyteller from Cleveland, Ohio, who currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts. His spoken-word CDs capture human nature in its glory, and mundane beauty. Leblang's keen observations capture moments in time: events from childhood and events in the neighborhood. Poignant, humorous, and reflective, each story touches a nerve.

His newest CD, Snapshots, contains 14 vignettes ranging from a humorous look at problem hair growth and aging to reflections on the loss of a grandfather and his life's work. Leblang tells each story in a "down home" accessible way, with subtle humor and a gentle essence.

Finding My Place, Judah's first CD, contains autobiographical stories that relate events from Leblang's life and his reactions to them. Again, his humor and gentle spirit weave each story—a walk through the Bible Belt in Jacksonville, Florida, his unrequited love for the Cleveland Indians, and others—making every one a tale listeners can relate to.
